If you have spent any amount of quality time around the Church, you have probably heard us talk about the importance of reading your Bible. But maybe you are like the majority and struggle to actually make that happen. And yet, just giving 10 solid minutes, inviting the Holy Spirit to speak to you, reading for transformation not just information, can be a game changer for your life. Still on the fence? Check out this encouraging message from Pastor Mark!
You know that thing, the thing you know you should do, but you just keep putting off for one reason or another. It’s a good thing – maybe even a really important thing – but maybe it will be uncomfortable or mean giving something else up or cost you something you value. So we procrastinate, make excuses, hope that it fixes itself without our having to do anything. But what if you stopped saying no, and finally said yes? What if you made this year, the year of yes!

Sometimes our "yes" is to stop ignoring or neglecting the damage done to one of our relationships. Maybe we were the source of the fracture, or maybe someone else was, but in either case, God is inviting us to do our part to heal that relationship because reconciliation matters to God. It matters so much that God sent His Son to bring about reconciliation long before we were ever sorry about how we'd hurt Him. Join us as we dig into this hard "Yes."

Has this year been a year of bad news? You know, despite the pretty cards and serene faces, Mary and Joseph faced a year of crazy. It might seem like the best news ever to hear you will be the parents of the Messiah, but Mary still had to go through 9 months of culturally shameful pregnancy because Joseph wasn't the father, followed by an 80 mile walk to Bethlehem at 9 months, and then no place to stay when her water broke. Talk about a string of bad news and desperate times! And yet, God was orchestrating it all for something truly incredible! Check out this special Christmas Eve service if you are in need of some hope in this season.
Each December, familiar carols fill our homes, our cars, our churches and our playlists. We sing them once a year–but their truths were never meant to be seasonal. In “A Christmas Playlist” we’ll explore four beloved Christmas songs and discover how their powerful messages of hope, peace, presence, and joy–still speak to us today.

"O Holy Night" is one of the most beautiful Christmas carols, but have you stopped to really take in the words? "A thrill of hope" and "a weary world" -- these lines in the first verse remind us that while Christ's birth offers a thrill of hope, many of us still live in the weary world of hard and heartbreak. Listen in for a word of hope today.

As we take a close look at the song "O Come All Ye Faithful", sometimes we wonder about the "feelings" of Christmas. The Shepherds were in awe of Jesus, the Magi brought gifts and worshipped Him, and Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. When was the last time you were in awe? Have you ever beheld glory? Maybe this Christmas you can experience it all as though it were the first Christmas.

As we begin the Advent season, on the first Sunday the Christian Church around the world often begins by talking about hope. Hope is the persistent trust that believes and acts as though the thing hoped for will happen. In the past, the Jewish people persisted in hope that the Messiah would come. He did come as Messiah Jesus. Today, Christians persist in hope that Jesus will come again to set not just humans right with God but all things! But hoping in the midst of pain and struggle, when we can't see with our eyes proof that we aren't hoping in vain, is difficult. Join us as Pastor Jessica opens God's Word to encourage us to persist in hope.

Jonah finally did the thing -- preached in Nineveh -- but then he stormed out of the city irate because the people were actually repenting! Finding a seat outside the city, Jonah waits for something to happen and ends up in a conversation with God about whether is anger is justified. But the real issue is that Jonah has come to despise the very qualities of God that make God the only Being worth worshipping and following. What are those qualities? Check out the message!
Hearing God’s invitation to act is one thing. Receiving it and obeying is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Jonah heard the voice of God, but it wasn’t something he wanted to hear, so he tried to run away from it. Have you ever done that? Some stories in the Bible have more to teach us about what not to do than what to do. The book of Jonah is one such story.

Ever been approached by a police officer before? When our mess-ups and mistakes catch up with us, we plead for mercy, right? "Please let me go with a warning and I will never do this again!" Yet how often do we do that thing again. True repentance is being sorry enough to stop, and this is the kind of repentance following God requires. Join us Jayden unpacks how oddly enough, the Ninevites can teach us a thing or two about repentance.

Jonah wasn't afraid to obey God. He refused to obey. He had become bitter and resentful against his hated enemies, the Assyrians whose capital was Nineveh. There was no way Jonah was going to give the Ninevites a chance to repent and receive mercy. Ever felt that way? Bitterness does not satisfy or protect like it promises, though, and it has disastrous consequences for us and the people around us. Check out this message to see what we mean.

We talk about baptism as an important next step in our faith, but what exactly does it mean? What is its significance? How does it connect to our salvation? These are just some of the questions surrounding this practice we call a sacrament, or sacred act. Listen in as Pastor Mark helps frame this for us, and then join us in celebrating the eleven baptisms!

When you hear the word "evangelize", how do you react? Often we might feel our stomach drop, heart-rate increase, and maybe even experience temporary memory loss, lol. But what if being a person on mission for Jesus was actually far more relational and less bullhorn on the street corner? Check out this message!
We tend to remember longer what we see than what we hear. Did you know that the coolest thing is the principles that Jesus taught His followers can be understood by basic shapes? How do I move towards continuous breakthroughs in my life? How do I get better balance in my relationships and an improved work/life balance? Jesus taught about all these things and we have a shape to remember his teachings that you will never forget!

Does your life feel out of balance? Maybe something just seems off, but you can't put your finger on it. Jesus modeled a life with balance between output and input, between time alone with The Father, quality time with His disciples, and authentic time with all the other people crowding around Him. We can capture this model with the Triangle, a strong shape when all three sides are equal. Listen to hear more about how to match your life to this shape.We tend to remember longer what we see than what we hear.

It is so easy to get caught up in the hamster wheel of productivity and busyness that we never take time to rest, or we feel that rest is a luxury we can't afford.

Circles have been used to symbolize concepts like inclusion or eternity, but we also believe they can teach us something about breakthrough! Join us as we circle back into how the circle can describe continuous breakthrough and how that gets to play out in your life!

We are going to cover some popular sayings from Jesus that get quoted from the Bible. There is only one problem— they aren’t actually words that Jesus uttered. When people misquote us, it creates misunderstanding and sometimes it hurts our reputation. Likewise, when Jesus is misquoted, people are led to believe things that aren’t true.
